   Snack Factory’s founding creators of Pretzel Crisps and Princeton residents, Sara and Warren Wilson, have just been named among Ernst & Young’s prestigious list of successful New Jersey entrepreneurs.
   During last week’s Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2012 New Jersey Awards Gala, the husband and wife duo took home the special category title of Master Entrepreneur Of The Year. The category was created specifically for the Wilsons because the judges considered their accomplishments, which span the course of more than 30 years, to be unlike any of the other finalists.
